JOHNSTOWN - Serra and Bishop McCort in a rematch of the 2000 and more recently 2001 Penguin Cup Final. A battle for the # 1 seed in the upcoming Class A Penguin Cup playoffs. Big Game right....Where was Serra star Steve Leppo ? Another meaningless Hornet practice and John Mooney ? No Show and nowhere to be found. Serra was not starting on the right foot. Even though Crusher head coach John Bradley was in the stands serving his last game of a controversial four game suspension issued by the PIHL, which is interesting because they don't follow any of their other rules ! Bishop McCort was focused as they always are for big games at the War Memorial and got off to a great start as Joe Delic scored on a rebound at 13:20 to give his team a 1-0 lead. Serra answered at 8:28 on the power play, after some nice puck movement, C.J. King took a Jesse Lubasch pass and beat Ron Stenger to tie the game. The Crushers took over in the 2nd period as Danny Thomas followed his own rebound and beat Timmy Johnson through the five hole to give McCort a 2-1 lead. Then at 5:57, Delic, on a great individual effort would not be denied as he beat Johnson to extend the lead to 3-1. In the third period, Anthony Feyock held Serra off the board and Bishop McCort earned a huge 3-1 victory. Serra outshot the Crushers 25-24 on the night.

MONROEVILLE - In a tale of two organizations going in opposite directions, Greensburg CC and Woodland Hills squared off, which is sadly probably for the last time. Woodland Hills, with only 15 players rostered, graduates 8 players and with no developmental program is close to extinction as a program after 8 seasons. Greensburg CC, on the other hand is priming itself for a playoff run under long time coach Butch Marrietta. The Centarians received 4 goals from Matt Ward, 3 from Josh Chiado, 2 from Pat Bates and a single from Casey Shoub to rout the Wolverines 10-0. GCC outshot Woodland Hills on the night 42-11. The tell tale of this game was, with a running clock in the third period, Woodland Hills goaltender Brandon White making a great save on a GCC player in front. No one could find the puck and the time ran out and finally surfaced in the Woody High goalie's arm pad. I guess Brandon wasn't going to let GCC score anymore was he.

Stayed home and watched Canada and the Czech Republic !
